The cache, is definitely missing, and the maintainer does not plan to replace it, as per their recent note.
Maybe it’s time to archive this one.

Having maintained and replaced this cache for the past few years, I went out to check on it this afternoon after seeing the two previous DNF's. Unfortunately I can confirm that it has in fact been muggled (stolen). The rocks that kept it hidden have all been removed and the cache is nowhere to be found. I don't plan to replace it again.
We gave this one our best, but it beat us, will keep a eye on it and if it gets a couple of smileys we will be back.
A fun but fruitless adventure.
Set out from Gorman park and skipped over the rocks to get to GZ. Rain coming in off the ocean put me on the clock. Hoped I’d be one of the lucky searchers but it turned out I was one of the blind ones. Even with the rain falling I kept looking but to no success. Walked away after admitting defeat in the pouring rain. Maybe next time I’m in this corner of the world…
TFTH!

Thanks for the cache awesome location.

Passing through on our trek to Charleville QOGM, spending a day in Burnett Heads area picking off a few caches on a break from towing.
An early walk on the beach with the tide out then up onto the rocks to locate gz. A fairly quick search and we had a logbook in hand then the container. Reunited the pieces and restashed the container and had an enjoyable rock hop walk back to the car.
Thanks to CO’s for taking time to set out and maintain hides and for showing us your very special part of the world

Awesome little hiding spot I've written when I found it in the note pad and left a little toy soldier in there was fun ????
T4T$ coords spot on. Parked at the nearby park and walked out to the lighthouse and then easily scrambled over the breakwater rocks for the find.
An interesting walk out to GZ. Why we chose initially to walk along the top we are not sure.
This one took quite a bit of finding, but finally Mrs SKI came up with the goods.
Our first full day in Bundaberg. We decided to head out to Bargara and see how many caches we could find along the coast and surrounds. This included 2 Adventure Labs, puzzles and traditionals. These were mixed in with great scenery and some interesting nature reserves.
Combined with the lunch we had it was another great day.
Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache Dusty Pair.

I have found myself with great pleasure to have found your cache. I congratulate u on a fine hinding spot
2nd try. About 11am. 27/07/22.
Walked out over the boulders of the rock wall to the GPS spot. Hubby got on his haunches and lifted rocks in the gaps between the boulders to no avail.
Oh there was a cold wind blowing today, but a good day for a walk anyway.

Great spot. Went for a walk before lunch the went to Baltimore's for fish and chips.
Log is a little damp.

Finally. This was my third attempt here. It took me an hour to find it. The reason being is because some of the comments were misleading. It has nothing to do with tide lol.
Replaced the soggy log and worn-out pen. Otherwise all good with this one. Cheers from Bindair Dundat.
Left geowife in the shade while I scrambled along the rocks, very windy jumping from rock to rock. Arrived at GZ and thought I was in for a long search but as luck would have it, it was in the 3rd place I looked. All thats left now is to get back to terra firma without breaking my neck LOL.

Dolphins and mudcrabs, lots of birds and busy mangrove. It was a necessary distraction walking across the rocks. Last time i walked across basalt boulders i needed airlifting to hospital. This time i only had jelly legs. It was worth the walk, not only to find the cache but to face a fear i hadn't realised existed until today.
TFTC!

TFTC. Out for an early morning walk and guided to this area by the ‘Lighthouse’ cache. Guess it is still working.
Ahh the sea breeze!
One of my favourite finds because of the beautiful location and super fun walk down the sea wall
I think I’ll stay here for a while and take in the view!
Thanks for the cache

Wow felt like a bit of a bird to get to this one. Need good shoes and a steady foot.
Compass on the app very accurate and takes you directly to GZ. Visible but not in the open. Easy to snatch.
Hint directs you to a sharp rock between the big ones.
Awesome find in the lovely sea air.

Found on a weekend trip from Gladstone to Bundy TFTC
We've never been more relieved to find a cache, that was quite the rock hopping walk!

TFTC. Hot old morning but we had just seen hatchlings at mon repos before riding up to B Heads and finding the cache- so we were happy. 10 yo counted 26 sharp rocks before ‘the one’.
Bit of a while to find but after looking back at a couple of photos we eventually found it.
Checked this one this morning. Seems the recent high tides may have dislodged it from it's proper hiding spot, so replaced to where it should be. Not out in the open, but not hidden from sight if you stand in the right spot. Please replace EXACTLY as and where you found it. Cheers and happy caching from Bindair Dundat.
Great walk and cache plus got the extra bonus of seeing two dolphins Thank you very much
Tftc dusty pair, what an awesome site for a cache. Walked out on the top back via the sand. Found after a brief search
Found it!! That was an adventure had to peruse the photos to spot the right rocks after 20 mins of searching with no luck. Found the right rocks and found the cache!

The youngest geodaughter and I are on a school holiday roadtrip travelling north from Brissie. A day in Bundy today brought us here to admire the lighthouse and do some rockhopping. We loved this cache, the geology of the rocks was amazing, and we watched the seabirds hover and dive straight down into water like arrows as we made our way along the wall. At gz we had a bit of a hunt- there are quite a few rocks which match the hint- but the geodaughter eventually spotted the container and we added our names to the log. Tftc Dusty Pair, take a Favourite Point for bringing us here

Tuesday. We were making good way finding some caches in this area and we saw this cache looked like a good fun one to do. We mistook the sign however, thinking that no one was allowed up the path, but went back when we realised that it only meant no camping (doh!). It was low tide and considered a walk along the beach side but thought the rock hopping was too irresistible. Just when I said I’d better check if we are close to the cache, I realised we were spot on! Checked the hint and looked around. Still took us a few minutes before we spotted this one, but container is a beauty and won’t be disintegrating any time soon. Both log book and container are in good order. We loved this area and saw some very pretty kingfishers as well.
This was the 10th of 12 caches found on this outing.
Thanks ***Dusty Pair*** for showing us this place

After 20 minutes of searching for needle in a haystack and then get young eyes in, we had it in our hot hands. Tftc.
Bundaberg Day 5 Our caching partners for today were the Snakepitters.
Todays plan was to head to Bargara & Bernett Heads, also to do the Adventure Lab cache.
Surprisingly how busy it was along the beach front, so glad it wasn't summer or school holidays.
Lucky for us today it was low tide so we were able to make an easier walk along the beach, Approaching GZ we climbed up onto the break wall.
After a short search the cache was located.
Thanks for placing this cache Dusty Pair

Day 6 in the Bundaberg area and today was bargara's turn to pickup those caches. Drove along the foreshore while also picking up the Adventure lab, multi tasking as we went along. Lovely day and was so temping to stop there for lunch, but it was still too early in the day and we would not be in the area when we were due to finish for the day.

9:58:00 AM. We had been out here 2 days ago with no luck and were going to put up a DNF. Then checking logs last night see it was found the same day we were out there. Went back through previous logs and looked at the photo's. So after packing up camp drove around and headed back out. The tide was out so a pleasant walk on the beach all the way till I climbed the rocks at GZ. Identified the rock in the photo and found. Log signed. Co-ords are good. Glad we got it before we left. Thanks for the cache Dusty Pair
Took the kids 6yo, 4yo for our first caching experience. Would never have found it without the pics in activity log.
Thanks
Thanks
Still there - see previous log for description. Cheers from Bindair Dundat.
We enjoyed the rock hop with our two geomuts, however, we searched and searched for at least half an hour but came up empty handed. It's a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack. Anyway we still had fun. TFTH
Staying at cp and took the dog out for a walk great rocks to walk along saw a small carpet snake curled up in the middle of the road. As it had been raining, it was cool and the tide was coming in. Quick easy find once we got out there tftc
After a recent DNF, I went out today to check this one - I'd only just replaced it last month after it was STOLEN. Fortunately, it's still there although there were a couple of logs in the logbook from people who didn't log the find here. Here is a copy from my log from last year with a description of the actual rock it is hidden beside - it's on the lighthouse side of this rock about half a metre below the top of the wall..... "You need to look beside a large boulder with lots of cracks on it's surface. Most of the rocks are quite smooth, but this one stands out because of all the cracks." The container is a black PVC tube about 200mm long x 40mm diameter. I've also attached a couple of new photos. It's also worth noting that IMHO the cache description by the CO isn't even close to the mark. Cheers from Bindair Dundat.
I feel that after Bindair Dundat confirmed that the lid I found was part of the cache even though the log was missing I can claim a find as I have sent a photo through to the CO . TFTC
After contacting Yella Belly I was able to confirm that this one has been muggled. I went out there this afternoon and replaced it, so all good to go again. There's been a bit of co-ordinate shift, putting GZ approx 4 metres out. Try these co-ords to get a bit closer - 24° 45.473' 152°24.583'.
All that remained of the previous container was the lid, the pens and the bag that contained the logbook. To future finders, please try to replace the container in a way that it can't be seen by anybody walking along the wall - many people go out there every day. Cheers and Happy Caching from Bindair Dundat (de facto maintainer of this cache).

At this stage logging a DNF but did find a screw cap which I'm wondering if it is part of the cache, have email CO to find out. Enjoyed the walk even tho it was blowing a gail. Thanks for the opportunity to attempt this cache.

Found after a very short search. We were actually quite surprised to find it so quickly as there are numerous places it could have been. Thanks
